Love Isaiah, Micah and Deborah. That's a lot of Biblical names there!

Amasiah - sustained by God
Hanniel - grace of God
Micaiah- who resembles God?
Jahleel - God waits
Kemuel - helper of God
Rephaiah - God has healed
Vaniah - nourishment of God

I did think about Vaniah sounding feminine. Still like it though.

I think Vaniah sounds a bit girlie... meanings of the names would be a factor for me as well

boys: Isaiah, Raphael, Elijah, Micah, Ezekiel and Joel,
girls:Jemima, Deborah and Leah
